Are these goosed?
Turbo Mini Forums

Basically this is minisport's version of competition rubber cones that I got back in 2006 which only stayed on my car for 5 days. The one on the right is what I think is knackered as the one on the left is what it looks like brand new. Am I wrong?

Hard to tell when I can't see anything Minisport stuff is generally wanked before it even reaches the customer though

my mini sport peices of shit collapsed straight away.

Damn attachment's didn't show. Here's what I'm on about:

id throw them back through the shop window, could have caused an accident.

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

bin it, same happened to mine. hard as fuck aswell! borderline unbearable! i changed back to standard when they collapsed and found that (on the road) i didnt lock the brakes half as much under hard braking on uneven roads.

Funny thing is there were literally on my car for fives day's then I had an accident which wrote my car off so when I rebuilt my car coilovers went on and ofcourse they weren't needed. Just cant understand what happened to them?

right awesome stuff. what I wanted to hear. Pitty I didn't know sooner before buying them lol. Just got a set of orginal's off egay for 40 squid which I'll refurb and put on with my shiny gaz shoccies and my hi-lo's. Might stick them on egay and see if anyone wants them lol.

I know the cheap knock offs collapse like that, didn't think Minisport would sell them though. Id' cause a fuss about it.

Well I would but seeing as they almost over 3 years old and sat in my shed and even though they were used for 5 days straight I don't really know what they would do?

Did they cause the accident?

James have you still got yours? You could do a deal-one of you could have the 'lowered' set, and the other could have a std height set.....

mini sport..lol joke!! i thought the one on the right is what they looked like when they are brand new well from mini sport anyway,

Yes i moved to the darkside

Well the accident was down to the third party hitting me causing me to start going into a spin and as we all know mini's and curbs never did make a perfect couple and thats what wrote my car off, but come to think about it now, I wouldn't be surprised if them cones had something to do with me not being able to gain control of my car during me difting session.

Tbh if that's what's happened to them after 5 days I'm really not interested in putting them on my car again so if anyone wanted them by all means give me a shout as I'm clearing out the shed anyways.

Lol Brett that would make perfect sense!!

ive just been to look at mine.....they seem to have regained some of thier shape ?!?!?!

only got 3 for some reason....strrrrrrrange!

What have you got left? 2 stuffed ones or 2 good ones?

3 stuffed that have retaken some sort of shape.

Hmmm ok. I really dunno what to do with mine, wether to sell them to some poor sole or bin them but then it could give me some money.

looks like the safest place for them is the bin to be honest.

Lol to the bin they go of neil's spoken

on the knuckle joint's, what would be the better grease to use? graphite or copper?

Just a quickie, what are people using for top suspension bracket on the front who aren't using coilovers? I take it the standard ones aren't quite up for the job?

the std ones are ok,

there are uprated ones available, but they just change the geometry of the shock a bit.
